Several years ago I received a packet of Bodhi Tree seeds from your company. The seeds sprouted well and eventually I potted up a number of seedlings and gave them to a number of friends. I kept one for myself, putting it outside in the warm weather and bringing it inside in the Fall. It grew extremely well and I have to keep it pruned down to get it inside the house. It is now quite large enough to meditate under. [See photo]

Wow. I thought I’d have trouble with these so I planted the whole packet. I had so many I had to sell and give away a lot by fall. Haha. Very nice plants and if you forget to water them sometimes they come right back lol.

I had good luck sprouting these. They took a little while, but grew rapidly once they finally emerged. I gave most of the seedlings away but one that I kept is about 16” tall and seems healthy. This one plant is well worth the cost of the seed pack, and I still have about 90 seeds left.
